    You can level northern sky waltz as high as you can and conserve spirit until you can distribute points into more important skills. The other two are not necessary to level up too early because their added damage is insignificant later in the game. However, staggering strike's range bonus per level is something you might want after your main skills are maxed.

    I'm under the impression that having that much spirit is scaring you b:shocked. There's nothing wrong with saving spirit (even though it's sometimes a large amount) for leveling more important skills later. Some of the skills you need later require a large amount, and you'll probably glad you DID save that spirit. b:victory

    my veno here has had over half a million unused spirit before --- and i'm not yet level 72. seriously, you won't drown in the stuff.

    first, level all your self-buffs. the ones that give you extra defense levels, extra crit percentages, and such --- you've always got those on whenever you might have to fight anyway (right?) so might as well get the most out of them.

    second, level your stances. you've always got one or another of them enabled, get the most out of those.

    third, your aoe's. aoe damage is what seekers are wanted for, get as much of that as you can. except maybe vortex, until you hit a level high enough that a higher-leveled vortex won't just suck your mana bar dry and go out right away. i'm planning to leave my seeker's vortex at level 1 or 2 until i can level her to 75 and use mana food, but that's me.

    fourth, you'd level all your other skills --- but you can't anymore, because by now you're out of spirit.

    I'd definitely say after you level numbness and mastery, to max your stances (at least NSW and Soulsever, Parchedblade is kinda eehhhh). I personally hate being in squad with seekers who don't have their stances maxed for their level, because they always end up overriding my maxed ones, and having the boss take less damage, or the squad take more, than they would if they had left it.

    Some on my server don't even know how to use stances or just auto attack stuff b:shocked. Sadly, when you get sage/demon versions of your stances, the ability to mark with your own stance gets more difficult with other seekers in squad. Of course, this could be remedied by using different stances.

    Rawrgummy's post above says it all.

    By autoattack, I mean they just attack mobs/bosses without using any skills whatsoever. Using stances and triggering their effects is 1/3 of a seeker's capabilities. By autoattacking, they don't contribute optimally to team efforts to complete the task at hand. If they trigger the effects of northernsky waltz, the squad deals more damage. If they trigger soulsever minuet, the squad receives less damage and deals more damage.

    Okay.

    Adrenal Numbness: If you're not putting on vit, max it, it enables your tankability. If you put Vit... Max it, you wanna survive, dont you?
    Soulsever: This one makes you and your squad survive for longer against AoE bosses.
    Northern Sky: You want angry ******* to die quick? This is the Spammable Seeker's "Amplify damage".

    Additional ones:
    Stalagstrike, dark cloud, Gemini Slash and edged blur are good for AoE grinding and FC.
    At Fc you may want to use yataghan, but beware of the MP cost of this skill. If you can't keep it running for long, its useless, raise this one carefully.
    Also, Gemini Slash is your Hardest hitting skill.
    Heart Seeker is your third Hardest hitting skill (till sage/demon when it becomes your 2nd)
    Try to Raise Krav Maga. At lv 3 it really worths costing 1 mirage in exchange of 5 extra def levels to your whole squad (TTing purposes, when soulbanisher hitkills the BBer :|)

    In short: You can reduce up to 15% the damage your squad takes OR increase up to 23% the damage your squad deals to the enemies by comboing mirage buffs and Soulsever.

    But, the MOST important ones are Adrenal Numbness, Soulsever Minuet and NSW. The hardest damages are Heart Seeker and Gemini Slash. I think most of the seekers agree with what im saying.
